First run with new hitch.

markw · 10-19-2008, 10:31 PM

Well I would say that it went without a hitch but... I just got the new hitch from Chuckster and borrowed a trailer to haul camp gear and went to the Annual Christian Motorcyclist Association's Changing of Colors Rally at Hatfield, AR. Went over Talimena Drive on the way down. Colors were mostly green. Temps were about 42 for the low. Probably another week or 2 till full colors. Hitch provided a stable platform with no rattles. Trailer also pulled like a dream in spite of no suspension. Many people asked about the trailer which looks kinda like a sidecar. I think it was made by Honky's of Broken Arrow, OK. Tire pressure was set to about 15lbs. I expect to build a trailer with the Harbor Freight base kit.

That's a sweet looking trailer! Kind of looks like a portable cement mixer. Sounds like a fun weekend.
